But Ma- ry’q bsaaty had noVor bloseomed in womanhood.— Hue time, a score and a half of years ago, a compa ny of Indians bad made a doscent on tho vilingo of West Farms, peated qf Jhe foot of tho hills. Trotn hling wpmoo had clustered together with hushed breaths a ad haggard facee ia tho, cottages, and nt la?t q company.of the bravest men had galheredto- getheri shouldered^thoir arips, arid gono ont, in the Homo ofthe God qf battles, to fight for their wives, their children and their homes. Jedediab Woolcoot led liis little cotnpany of brave men, and earned tboreby tho title of General. They soon succeeded in routing tbe Indians who bad stationed themselves at. the northern part of the village, and the white men lost but two of their number. But tbat night Mary Rogers took her death cold; for the child, hearing the war pry of the Indians, whioh startled I|er from her sfqmbqro, bad sprang suddenly out of fed. rushed but doors in her night dress, and re- raairiedj fop pearly an hour crouobed down on the grtfss, lihder thp apple tree convolsed with terror. In less tfaqq'siY mouths Mary's beauty lay under the summer grass, and her broken-hearted mother fol lowed her a little later. So, with all his money, the neighbors affirmed that Seth Rogers had had a hard time of it, for it was a terrible thing to have one’s kith and kin cat off from them. I wa* harit?Qg“;tboro among some old blankets I had sptio afqrp^ i*^'married,, when such.' 7 I came to a loag woode^^bos, whieh your motber gm me the week hejfg'rpftfthQ died- You knp.w you was gone off among thq./a.oon.tains to hunt op bears then.

Thoro was an Oak tree vgry near. The old woman dropped down under this, and laid her crutch at ber feet.

' / SwEEBjuq Carpets.—The art of aweeping a car? v pet well is one reqniring a good deal of practice arid f skill. Many newar learn it properly. < It is done in > three different ways. First, by thqlp who draw ot thrqgt a broom over-it, raise much dust, and leayq more than half Ihe djrt behind, to be ground into the, fibre by careless feet. Secondly, by those who sweep cleau, but who, in diiyipg the broom in flour ishing semi circles before them, break off tlie spljntn and raiso’suffocating clouds of dust. Thirdly, sad rightly, by drawing, not pushiog the broom, making'! short and rather quick strokes, and taking specif 3 care taqt to give an upward flourish nt the end o f1'; each. Give a rather light touch, and not ncrgp^ 't the broom over lbe carpet. Unless a carpet is very ., dirty, neither tea leaves, nor wet fragments pf pfa/j per, nor moist grass are necessary iq gathering the dust. They often soil the carpet by forming min ute particles of mud; and if tbe broom becomes moist, it defaces the base-boayd ahfefe carefully used. Do tint begin at ottcl side of the room and pweep ihe dirt over and/qfef until it roachea 'the other side. This p/ocean will he Stiro to work a part jnio cjean portions of the carpet, if there is niucji dir?b on qther parts. But take up on a dust- < pao nti t^e feeavy portions ns soon; as swept togeth er, . Fort the same reason, a dustpan should he used • for each stop of a set of stairs, instead of sweeping ■ the whole from top to bottrim. For the latter put1' 1 pose, a dhort-bandied broom is most convenient. 1‘J • —— •— _ ‘ P le a s u r e a n d A d v a n t a g e s o f L a b o r .— T h ejr#^ is a very faSsp notion itt the wotlJ respecting Jpdl * ploy ment. ’fhousands imagine that it,tT O ,i6m il boyri'fsr'o you gnio’ to’tako to!’ Mary fl'usbed right uR arid nhd jerit dpoha out iolier quick way i ♦Peti gqift* to Ihke td'rriy brother Srith, Miss Woolcoot.
